right now ive got a 1.25" front and 1" rear bar. could i just take the width of these along with the arm lengths and figure out the rate, or is the steel a major factor with the splined bars? i really dont need to do this, but im just interested to see what i had before.
i havent had any issues finding a rear bar around 300, but the front is a little more tough. since it needs to be 39" long and has 14" arms, even the solid bars are around 400, not 500. looks like ill need a bigger bar thats turned down to 1.25 at the ends. most of those are only 37.5 though, so it looks like i may have to pay some more for a custom length.

How wide is your frame in the front? Mine's 35.5", so a 2" longer bar @ 37.5" will work. I want the arms as close as possible to the frame, as they do get in the way of the tire at full lock.
The locating collars don't need to be on the outside of the frame, unless your pillow blocks are all the way to the outside. Mine are in the stock location, so my collars go inside the frame.
